I tried adding a drawing in Reference Manager and received an Alert box that said "Drawings not added because of problems: 1". Does anyone know what this tremendously informative message might refer to. The drawing is not open and is not read only. ALI Asghar

Hi,

 

can you open the drawing with AutoCAD? If so, run command _AUDIT to check the internal database, save the dwg, close the dwg and try the reference manger again.

if that does not work, can you please create a screenshot from that message and show it to us?

 

BTW: does that happen with all DWG-files you have or just one specific file?

Hi,

 

>> i send you screen shoot

Nothing attached.

 

By any chance: are the files you can open created with an older DWG-format (older AutoCAD release) and the other files are from a newer AutoCAD? In that case verify that you open the reference manager from the newest AutoCAD you do have installed.

No file attached, but would be good to see what is inside the file.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

Please attach the file(s) so I can take a look for you.

 

In the mean time, remove the xref if it is already part of your drawing and then reattach it.

I know this is an old post but the problem I found out that exact error message was fixed by only adding first level xrefs.  I made the mistake of letting it try to find nested xrefs no matter the level and it never worked.  Closed reference manager and changed that setting and it works fine now.
